Xlarva - WireGuard VPN Client Experience the next generation of VPN technology with Xlarva, a sophisticated WireGuard-based VPN solution designed for privacy-conscious users across all Apple platforms. CORE FEATURES • WireGuard & AmneziaWG 2.0: Industry-leading performance with state-of-the-art cryptography • Traffic Obfuscation: Advanced WebSocket and MASQUE (HTTP/3) tunneling to bypass restrictions and make network more stable • iCloud Synchronization: Seamlessly sync VPN configurations across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV • Custom DNS: Support for DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) • Advanced Routing: Fine-grained control over network routes with include/exclude rules • Traffic Splitting: Decide by domain what goes through the tunnel and what connects directly, with the same rules applying to HTTP, TLS and QUIC (iOS 18 / macOS 15 / tvOS 18) • On-Demand Connection: Intelligent auto-connect based on network conditions • Proxy Configuration: Built-in support for HTTP/HTTPS/PAC proxy settings • Dynamic DNS: Automatic endpoint resolution with secure DNS lookup • Shortcuts Integration: Start, stop, switch configurations and read VPN status from Apple Shortcuts for fully automated workflows • Gateway: Built-in SOCKS5 proxy server to share VPN connection with other devices on your local network • Self-Hosted Deployment: Set up a WireGuard server on your own VPS over SSH, then run it from iPhone, iPad or Mac — monitor it live, manage WireGuard peers, run custom scripts, and open a terminal on it without leaving the app • URL Filter: Block known harmful or unwanted websites in Safari and most apps on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with or without the VPN connected. Most addresses are checked on your device and possible matches are confirmed privately, so the filter server never learns which sites you visit (iOS 26 / macOS 26) WHY CHOOSE Xlarva? Privacy First Your VPN configurations are stored locally and synced via your private iCloud account. We never see or store your data. Cross-Platform One subscription works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Configure once, use everywhere. Advanced Obfuscation WebSocket and MASQUE (HTTP/3 over QUIC, RFC 9298) tunneling disguises VPN traffic as regular HTTPS, helping bypass deep packet inspection and improve stability on restrictive networks. MASQUE preserves UDP semantics for better performance on lossy networks (requires iOS 17 / macOS 14 / tvOS 17 or later).
